Tools Required

You will only need the vehicle's key fob.

Reset Instructions

Step 1: Enter the Vehicle

Sit in the driver’s seat and close all doors to avoid any interference during the reset process.

Step 2: Insert the Key Fob

Insert the key fob into the ignition slot. If your vehicle is equipped with a push-button start, ensure you have the key fob inside the vehicle.

Step 3: Turn on the Ignition

Turn the ignition key to the "On" position or press the start button without pressing the brake pedal. This will power the dashboard without starting the engine. The dashboard lights should illuminate.

Step 4: Access the Trip Computer

Use the left or right arrow buttons on the steering wheel to navigate through the dashboard menu (if applicable).
Look for the “Trip” or “Settings” menu on the dashboard display.

Step 5: Find the Service Reminder

Within the Trip or Settings menu, locate the “Service” or “Oil Change” option. This typically shows the remaining time or mileage until the next service is due.

Step 6: Reset the Service Reminder

Once you have selected the service reminder option, press and hold the “OK” button (or a similar button) on the steering wheel until the display shows a confirmation message, indicating that the service reminder has been reset.

Step 7: Verify the Reset

Turn the ignition off and then back on to ensure that the service reminder light is no longer illuminated on the dashboard. If it is still present, repeat the steps to ensure the reset was successful.

Final Notes

If the service reminder light remains on after following these steps, it may indicate an underlying issue that requires further diagnostics. In such cases, consult the vehicle's service manual or take it to a certified Volvo technician for further assistance.
Always keep a record of the service performed and the next due date to stay on schedule with maintenance.
